Socially Reclusive

Investing the last of my Jessops tokens into something useful, today I brought myself a Nikon ML-L3 remote. At £16, or £12 is your into Amazon, this little beauty allows you to perform a simple task. Take photos from your Nikon SLR, remotely, without having to dash back to the camera.

First up, lets get to grips with how small it is. This thing is tiny. About twice the length of the current iPod Shuffle, and 1/2 the depth. It comes in a small box with its own carrying case. Wow. The build feels good. Made in China, snazzy. The button is soft to push down.

Setting it up with my Nikon D40 was no problem. Switch the type of shot to remote, and off we go. Hold down the button to focus, and if focus is found it takes a picture. No multiple picture mode, but I’ve no need for that. My camera has a function where I can set it to take a picture and hold open the lens to expose it for longer. This can be used for longer images or magic light painting techniques.

This little gadget will last me a long time. It works any side of the camera and puts me back in control of self photography. Fantastic piece of kit for the price I paid. Get it from Amazon, its well worth the money.
